Friday

Friday trade mostly clean up for both weekend and pre-report risks next week.  Corn slips 1 1/2 to 524, middle of the day range.  Wheat did gain 9 1/4 to 726 1/4 with several global tenders in the works and wheat is the global tight grain.  Wheat could trade $3 over corn easily, so don't get too excited about the daily variances between corn and wheat this year.  Because of price flexible feed usage for wheat, corn is better at giving wheat a floor than wheat is of corn.   Rice up a penny in dull trade, 1331, and expect new receipts to get delivered.  Beans up 8 3/4 cents, 1292, but it looked to be short covering and a hope to get back to $13, but that hope is fading fast.   Dow off 71 points in a back and fill churn, 35,353, and bonds slip 16 tics, 164.15.  No one is making any money in the financials but the computers.
